Hello all,
I'm going to be upgrading our server hardware that runs SQL2000std, and would like to move to a 64bit windows server 2003 on a 64bit server.
Right now we running it on a windows 20003 server.
with what I read I think I can run SQL2000 std. w/SP4 on a windows 2003 64bit server but would like some one to confirm that for me.
thanks
for your help,
Jason
I can't seem to get SQL Server to run on my 64 bit box running Windows XP Pro 64-bit. Is there a fix for this? I really need SQL Server.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWe have a 64bit installation of SQL Server (SSIS, SSAS) running and working fine. There is a requirement to install 64bit SSRS on this existing setup.
The problem is: While running the SQL Server Setup wizard, the Reporting Services checkbox remains greyed out. In other words, there isnt an option to select SSRS for installation.
So the question is: Is it even possible to install 64bit SSRS on an existing 64bit SQL server installation - given that SSRS wasnt installed during the first pass.
PS: The SQL Server is SP2 on a Windows Server 2003 configured as an App Server.
We have SQL 2000 but are getting new 64bit servers, can we upgrade to a 64bit version of SQL 2000 or do we need to go to 2005?
I assume the 32bit SQL 2000 will run on x64 hardware?

Hi
I just started a new job and one of my first assignments was to determine and prove the improvement between SQL Server 2000 32 bit and SQL Server 2005 64bit extension. (Itanium may come later but for now we will live with x64)
I have used SQL 2005 before but only with a fresh install and a new application built from the ground up. Now we want to upgrade our present databases to 2k5. In a previous test by another DBA, he found the SQL 2005 ran slower. However, he realized that he was using SQL 2005 32bit on Windows 2003 64bit. Now we have everything in place, here are the steps I have accomplished so far.
Loaded Windows 2003 64 and SQL 2005 64.
Made a copy of an existing database from a SQL 2000 32 bit
Attached this database to the new SQL 2005 server. However, I keep the compatibility at 8.0.
Updated the statistics and backed the db up.
Had another DBA run a Profiler trace on the production server.
Replayed the trace on the new server.
My problem is this doesn€™t seem to give the information I am looking for. First, we were only looking at queries over 5 minutes and only looking at things from a duration standpoint. We are going to change this. Second, even though I created a template that looks like the one used on the production server, it is not using it.
So how do I compare performance on this 64bit server verses the 32bit SQL 2000. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
We just built a new server with Windows 2003 64bit OS and installed SQL2005 64bit (named SQLServer let's say) as the default instance and SQL2000 32bit (named SQLServerSQL2000 let's say) as a second instance. The first instance is listening on the 1433 port and the second instance is on the 1344 port.
I can connect to the default instance with Management Studio without issue using the SQL instance name, but to connect to the second instance I have to create an alias with the port number (SQLServerSQL2000,1344) on my machine. I have never had to do that before with a second instance.
I am trying to figure out if this is an issue with 32bit SQL running on 64bit OS or what. I am kind of stumped.
Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!

I have been running Windows 2003 64bit and SQL2000 SP4 for over 2 months with out any issues.
Sadly we had a server crash "NTldr missing or corrupted"
now when the one engineer looked at it he suggested to reload the server with Windows 2003 32 bit version as there were known compatibility problems between 2003 64bit and SQL 2000 32bit but that you can install SQL 2000 32bit onto a Windows 2003 64 bit server.
Now i dont really believe this statement nor can i find any documentation supporting this. I believe this server might have crashed due to a new patch that was released the last 2 or 3 week either on Windows or SQL. Does anyone know where i can verify what patches was released?
Maybe someone else can share their thoughts with me.
I just installed the 64bit Vista and than wanted to install the 64bit SQL 2005 Std. Server on it.
Note: I downloaded my license from https://licensing.microsoft.com/eLicense/L1033/ProductDetail.Asp?SKU=228-05338.
Installing from SQLSTDSEL.ISO file results in the warning that for the REPORT- Server the .NET version has to be 32bit.
Stopping the installation at this point and try to install from SW CD SQL Svr Standard Edtn 2005 64Bit X64 English #1 x64 MLF.x11-57664 + SW CD SQL Svr Standard Edtn 2005 64Bit X64 English #2 x64 MLF.x11-57665 does not give the above error but on the other hand installs no server at all since somehow the installation routine is not working at all.
Installing now - after at least analysis server and reports server are 64bit and installed - from the first mentioned ISO results in the installation of the DB- Server.... but as a 32bit installation.
Now I wonder what did not work out - so maybe someone here has an idea if and how this problem is solveable.
Hi All,
After I installed sql server 2005 64bit standard edition on Windows Server Enterprise 2008 64bit, I cannot connect to the sql instance using the sql management studio on the same machine!
I verified that:
service is running,
in surface area configuration: remote connections to local and remote are enabled, for TCP/IP and named pipes.
ran the command netstat -avn| findstr 49279 to make sure that the server is listening.
firewall is off, but this does not matter since I'm connecting locally to local instance
I'm using domain controller account to login to sql server / also tried the sa account.
what else can be wrong?
thanks.
This may seem like a completely foolish question, but is there any issue in using the 32bit workstation components (on XP) to connect to the 64bit server-side components? New to SQL2K5 and never had any issues using the 2K workstation/server components together.
Thank you!
Hi,
I am currently in the process of migrating a BIS DB rom SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. This has involved migrating a whole load of DTS to SSIS. This gone, on the whole, pretty well.
However, I still have one package that doesn't work. This package exports some data to text files AND a to a couple of Excel files. However, the Excel part is not working. I get the following errors:
[Excel Destination [130]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_CANNOTACQUIRECONNECTIONFROMCONNECTIONMANAGER. The AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager "xls_DirectMail_CampaignFile2" failed with error code 0xC0202009.
[Connection manager "xls_DirectMail_CampaignFile2"] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040154. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Service Components" Hresult: 0x80040154 Description: "Class not registered".
Now, I am guessing that this is because there is no MS Office installation on the server. Would this be correct?
What would be the minimum software requirement to get this working?
Would simply installing Excel be enough?
Thanks,
Simon
I am looking at buying a new database server to run SQL Server 2005. I want to get 64 bit server, windows standard 64 and SQL Server 64. I already have an app I created that uses SQLMobile on a Windows Mobile 5.0 device. Will I be able to run this app if I move to the 64 bit or am I better off just staying 32 bit?

Hi,
I'm having problems installing SP1 on one of our servers.
If I try to install the x64 version of SP1 setup says it can not update my server and I should use x86 version. Trying to install the x86 version results in the message I should use x64 version....
Any ideas?

I'm sorry to bother you.
Now I'm trying to run PHP web application on x64 2003 Server with Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The version of PHP is 5.2.3. and the web application should be run as 64bit applications. Since there seems no way to use php_mssql.dll on the environment, I'm trying to use SQL Server 2005 Driver for PHP but when PHP loads php_sqlsrv.dll, an error has occurd and there's a following message in an error log...
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'c:phpextphp_sqlsrv.dll' - %1 is not a valid Win32 application
From this message, I thought the distributed libraries for Windows would be for a Win32 environment but there seemed no information that says the libraries run on Win32 environment only.
I really appriciate if you help me.
Thank you.
Hi there,
We've got a Windows 2003 (64 bit edition) box to use as our Database server.
I installed SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition) on the machine, but I have a feeling it has installed the 32 bit version and not the 64 bit version.
The reason I think this is that the MSSQL directory is under the 32 bit program files directory and not the 64 bit directory, and also when I look at the service properties it says it's running from WOW6432 registry entry.
Is there a separate disc for the 64bit version? Does the installer automatically work out which version to install or is there some sort of switch I have to do to tell it to install the 64 bit version.
Many thanks for your time.

Hi,
I have implemented a application on SQL Server 2005, this application runs huge queries and some stored procedures. Now that client is shifting on SQL Server 64bit edition, what should i need to worry about. What all changes am i expected to handle.
I would also like to know if there are any other issues to be considered.
Thank You.

Hello,
Are there any issues with running the 32 bit version of Windows 2003 server and SQL Server Standard edition on a 64 bit Intel hardware Platform? I don't see why there would be if the OS is 32bit but just thought I'd ask.
Thanks.
I am trying to pull data from an Oracle 9i database to my SQL Server 2005 sp1 database on Windows 2003 64bit Itanium server. Each time I try to use the import wizard, select the Microsoft OLE DB driver for Oracle, I get an error message telling me that the Oracle client tools are not installed. This happened after I had already installed the 9i tools, tested the connection using TNSPING and confirmed the tnsnames file was correct. So, I uninstalled the 9i tools and then installed the 10g client tools. Tested everything after the install and then tried the import again selecting the MS OLE DB driver for Oracle. I again got the error message that the Oracle tools were not installed.
has anyone ran into this problem and if so, were you able to fix it?
I have two 64bit SQL Server Std servers that will be principal and mirror. I also need to stand up a witness. I already understand that the witness can be any version of SQL Server, but can the witness server be 32bit given the principal and mirror are 64bit?
Hi,
Recently, we have migrated our database from 32bit to 64bit. So far the application is working fine.
But I want to confirm that by any tool or automated process.
Is there any way or tool to check that the migrated data is correct and also to check if migrated database objects will work fine in 64 bit environment.
Any timely help would be greatly appreciated !!
Thanks,
Bala
We have an application where part of the database is used for searching products and is very processor intensive due to the number of permutations and calculation that are required. This section of the database is scaled out by using transactional replication so that the €œsearch€? load is removed from central database€™s daily operations.
Each €œsearch€? server can handle around 15,000 search an hour with SQL taking about 3 seconds to return the result in XML (the system has be optimised to squeeze out every last bit of performance). This is in a 32bit environment. One other point, which is probably relevant, is that the Search data only totals 500MB.
With the possibility of upgrading these severs in the near future would we see any performance benefits in going 64bit. I know we won€™t take advantage of increased memory access due to the size of the search data but is there any discernable performance advantage between 32bit v€™s 64 bit processors and SQL Server 2005 64Bit. Or should I stick with SQL Workgroups and 32bit processor and save on the Standard SQL licence?
Many thanks
Hello
I'm trying to use application designed for 32bit operating system on 64bit (Longhorn beta 2). This application requires SQL Server CE 2005, I installed it (x32) but the application still says that it isn't.
What can be the problem? I suggest the application cannot retrieve information about SQL Server CE installation. But maybe the reason is I need to install something like SQL Server CE for 64bit operating system? Is it present "in native"?
I have a SSIS package, which get data from oracle 9i, and dump into sql server 2005 64bit itanium, its running fine. When I am deploying the package on SQL Server 2005 its showing me the error with connection. on 64bit Oracle Net manager showing its able to connect oracle successfully. I think actually the problem is with encryption, as the package is developed on 32bit machine, therefore all connection strings are encrypted for that machine. Is there some has faced same issue? please help!
Hi, All:
We have to migrate several 64Bit SQL Servers to 32Bit platform. Due to the 64Bit source systems are all production system, the downtime is too limited. So we can only get the DB files via Detach way. Among the source systems, both SQL2000 and SQL2005 exist.
My question are:
Is it possible to migrate the DB from 64Bit to 32Bit via Detach/Attach?
If ok, how to do that?
Any info will be highly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi all
I have a big problem with creating a linked server to ORACLE database!
- I have installed ORACLE Client 10g on my server (Windows Server 2003 64 bit)
- With ORACLE Tools I am able to connect to the ORACLE Server
- When I try to connect in SQL Server I get the following error:
Cannot create an instance of OLE DB provider "OraOLEDB.Oracle" for linked server
"MISPROD.WORLD".
I have tried I guess all combinations of getting data out of ORACLE ... :-(
For example:
- SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([MISPROD.WORLD], 'SELECT * from ORACLE_TABLE')
- SELECT * FROM [MISPROD.WORLD]...ORACLE_TABLE
I allways get the same error and I dont know what to do ...
Would by very very happy for any comment.

Hi
I have the following configuration:
- Server with 8 AMD Opteron Processors
- 24 GB Memory
- Windows Server 2003 64 bit
- SQL 2005 64 bit
- EMC Storage
The main instance is defined to use 7 Processors and
has about 10 databases.
The problem is:
When I run a "simple" Query (DISTINCT or GROUP BY) on a Table
with something like 1 million rows, SQL 2005 is very very slow !!!
The same query is on a SQL 2000 about 1000times faster ...
Does anybody has some ideas how to configure the system
to make it more useful ... ??
Thanks for any comment.

Is it possible to migrate from 32bit to 64bit?

Good Afternoon,
I just installed SQL Server 2005 64bit on a fresh system with no other applications loaded on running on the new server.
The only other component that was installed with the SS2K5 database services is SSIS. The base installation and the SP2 patch went on perfect.
I went looking for the Management Studio thru the Start menu options and it is NOT under the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 group. The only options under the SS2K5 group are "Configuration Tools" and "Docs and Tutorials".
Here are file names that I downloaded from the MS website and installed.
SW CD SQL Svr Enterprise Edtn 2005 64Bit X64 English #1 x64 MLF.x11-57796 (which is a zipped)
SQLServer2005SP2-KB921896-x64-ENU
There was also another zipped file that I tried to install but it seems to be a duplicate of the zipped file above:
SW CD SQL Svr Enterprise Edtn 2005 64Bit X64 English #2 x64 MLF.x11-57797
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks ALL!
